A PELOTON indoor cycling challenge has raised £22,500 for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, a charity committed to helping improve the lives of those affected by Motor Neuron Disease.
The Foundation was established by Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir OBE, who died in November aged 52, six years after being diagnosed with MND.
Led by developer Mount Anvil, the event at Queen’s Cross in east London brought together some of the biggest names in the residential property industry. Leading the pack was England footballer Millie Bright, part of the history-making Lionesses squad that triumphed at the 2022 European championships.
Darragh Hurley, managing director at Mount Anvil, said: “What better way to start the year than with an epic fitness challenge, bringing together our friends across the industry with our partner Peloton to raise much needed funds for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.”
With 20 Peloton bikes constantly in motion across different locations in London, including the offices of JLL, Knight Frank, and Savills, participants were asked to join an on-demand 30-minute Peloton class and cycle as far as possible. In total, 176 people took part.
